The central Xe atom in the XeF4 molecule has ________ unbonded electron pair(s) and ________ bonded electron pair(s) in its vale

nce shell.

Chemistry

Answer:

Lewis structure in attachment.

Explanation:

Atoms of elements in and beyond the third period of the  periodic table form some compounds in which more than eight electrons surround the  central atom. In addition to the 3s and 3p orbitals, elements in the third period also  have 3d orbitals that can be used in bonding. These orbitals enable an atom to form  an <u>expanded octet</u>.

The central Xe atom in the XeF₄ molecule has <u>two</u> unbonded electron pairs and <u>four</u> bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

The range of [H⁺] is from 2.51 x 10⁻⁶ M to 6.31 x 10⁻⁶ M,

Explanation:

To answer this problem we need to keep in mind the <u>definition of pH</u>:

  • pH = -log [H⁺]

So now we <u>calculate [H⁺] using a pH value of 5.2 and of 5.6</u>:

  • 5.2 = -log [H⁺]

-5.2 = log [H⁺]

10^{-5.2} = [H⁺]

6.31 x 10⁻⁶ M = [H⁺]

  • 5.6 = -log [H⁺]

-5.6 = log [H⁺]

10^{-5.6} = [H⁺]

2.51 x 10⁻⁶ M = [H⁺]

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Fe(CN)₂,  FeCO₃,  Pb(CN)₄,  Pb(CO₃)₂

Explanation:

Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.

1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

2.) FeCO₃

-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

3.)  Pb(CN)₄

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0

4.) Pb(CO₃)₂

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0

In the activity, click on the E∘cell and Keq quantities to observe how they are related. Use this relation to calculate Keq for
inessss [21]

Answer:

The standard cell potential of the reaction is 0.78 Volts.

Explanation:

Cu^{2+}(aq)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Cu(s)+Fe^{2+}(aq)

Reduction at cathode :

Cu^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)

Reduction potential of  Cu^{2+} to Cu=E^o_{1}=0.34 V

Oxidation at anode:

Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction potential of  Fe^{2+} to Fe=E^o_{2}=-0.44 V

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=0.34V -(-0.44 V)=0.78 V

The standard cell potential of the reaction is 0.78 Volts.

Do organs of different species resemble each other?
spin [16.1K]
<span>This really depends on how closely related the species are. Species from vastly unrelated taxonomic groups are likely to have organs that differ substantially. Think for example of the compound eye of a spider and the eye of a human, or the bones of a fish compared to the cartilage of a shark. These are examples of species that are not closely related at all. Then think of a chimpanzee and a human. The organs of both species are very similar in form and function as they are closely related. </span>
